Jones gives Garrett a vote of confidence

ATLANTA – In a possible attempt to end all of the speculation about Sean Payton eventually becoming the Cowboys coach, Jerry Jones gave Jason Garrett a vote of confidence after Sunday night’s 19-13 loss to the undefeated Falcons.

The Cowboys (3-5) are 16-16 with Garrett as their head coach. Dallas has lost two straight, four of its last five and nine of its last 13.

“Oh, I have a lot of faith in Jason,” Jones told ESPNDallas.com after the game. “I think Jason’s future is ahead of him. I know how hard he works. I like his philosophy, so I’ve got a lot of faith, a lot of confidence.

“One of the brightest spots I see is our head coaching and our coaching in the future.”
